In a surprise move, Clive Palmer has announced he's retiring from Aussie politics and is disbanding his party, Palmer United.

He quietly passed on the news on Wednesday morning in a media release, saying today's political environment is much different from when he formed PUP in 2013 to oppose the federal carbon and mining taxes.

Some of our favourite Clive Palmer moments over the past few years include his hilarious Facebook and Twitter comments, his plan to build the 'unsinkable' Titanic II and of course, his infamous dinosaur theme park 'Palmersaurus".
